What I Read in 2020

I kept a list of books I read last year, so even though I listed what I read each month in my monthly recaps, I wanted to post a master list.  I read more than expected because I stayed at home more than expected this year.  2020 was the first year I used Goodreads, and I don't know why I didn't get an account before this year!  My Year in Books is here.
